I had given following rules for understanding Jupiter-Saturn interplay , which affects politics and popular mood .

Basic Rules

1. Saturn , where ever placed in a rashi, enhances the attributes of that rashi while it simultaneously looks at 3 other Rashis ( 3rd, 7th and 10th counted from Saturn, shown above in chart ) , where it creates upheavals for changes and reforms .

2. Jupiter , where ever posited in a Rashi , stagnates the prospects of that rashi significations ( but brings satisfaction) , while it enhances prospects for 3 other rashis it looks ( 5th, 7th and 9th) .

Jupiter- Saturn Changes in Sign Since Formation of Modi Govt. in May 2014

1. Jupiter under Saturn Aspect so Clear Bad Days For New Govt : Main Events : Draught and deficit rains causing huge price rise , floods in J&K . PM Modi in silent mode . People wondered why he is not speaking now .

With Jupiter again escaping the Saturn aspect , the good sentiments again started building . Monsoon was normal , giving hope for good GDP figures . Govt tried to relax norms for bank loans and industries were given loan restructuring , GST Constitution bill was passed after accepting many opposition's suggestions . Sensex had recovered to 29000 on 8 September 2016 .

Surgical strike on Pakistan improved PM Modi's popularity while opposition was in problem , particularly , Samajwadi Party was in crisis during August to October period and BJP was assuming UP elections as cakewalk .

5. Return of Bad Days Again

As you can see in above image , Jupiter and Saturn were both aspecting second house of banking so major upheaval was due here after July 2016 . PM Modi announced the big currency note ban on 8 November 2016 and all hell breaks loose . Every financial body and individual undergo a financial earthquake kind scenario .

PM Modi was anticipating a big breakthrough and historical achievement with popularity benefit . There is no doubt about his intentions to clean the country of the bad , black money . But Saturn would not allow that till June 2017 .

See it here as Jupiter is again under the grip of Saturn till that time as Saturn finally enters Sagittarius .

It will be tough period for PM Modi as he has taken this decision on his own , so allies and colleagues will not back him . Many assembly elections are due in these 6 months . Election of President and Vice President of India are also due in this period .

But the good news is that , this recurring cycle of good and bad days will not repeat after this till 2020.

Update :

Simultaneous Jupiter Retrogression from 6 February 2017 , will have positive effects on otherwise negative effects stated till June . So, things may not be as adverse as they were in past 2 years . BJP will have mixed results till March because of this .But Saturn retrogression in April needs to be watched for further direction.

I think Jupiter retrogression will help BJP more than others . But it will not help much where elections have happened earlier . It would be interesting to see how much BJP gains in sequential 7 stage UP elections .

One of the major point against Modi govt was demonetization but that has started losing edge in February , with normalcy returning to ATM and banks operations .
